We all like it-- my kids of 9 and 7, and me. It is a toy that can be enjoyed by all age. At first they just tried to put all the pieces into the square. Then they work on the given shapes. It helps them understand relations between different shapes.

I bought this for my 12 year old daughter. She had owned this before but lost it during a recent move. When I saw it on the Fat Brain Toys website she asked me to order it. I knew that she would enjoy it but was pleasantly surprised that the whole family also enjoyed it. My husband and I, my 13 year old son and 9 year old son all really like playing with it. It is a great travel toy and because of all the puzzle cards that are include it can be played for hours. I would definately recommend this toy!

I am giving Shape by Shape as a gift within the next week or so to my 3-year old grandson when his brother or sister arrives. I realize its designed for older children, but I think my son will introduce it to the child at an appropriate pace and level he can comprehend.

I was turned on to this product by a first grade teacher, but soon found that this is a game/puzzle for all ages. It was so addicting I had to order three so my sister & niece could have their own. We now have competitions to see who can solve each puzzle first. Definitely hours of entertainment here.

Shape by shape is a great way for children (and adults) to improve their visual preceptive problem solving. Children use unusually shaped orange and yellow blocks to replicate fun shapes on picture cards. For those that need them, there are hints for both the orange blocks and the yellow blocks on the back of each card. I use it with second graders and their progress is fast and enjoyable. If you brought along a shallow basket to hold pieces in progress, this would be a great toy for families to take on car, train or plane rides.

Bought this for my eight year old nephew since we were all going out for a family dinner, and I wanted to get him something to keep him occupied. He really enjoyed playing it, and so did his Dad! Good choice. I can highly recommend it.

I give this set of puzzles to some of my patients ( I am a psychologist that does cognitive rehabilitation of various types of head injuries) to exercise and develop visual spatial problem solving skills. It is inexpensive and easy to use. I ask them to go through the sixty puzzles and then again working on speed. in these days of Luminosity etc this puzzle offers a cheap way to exercise some of your cognitive skills.
